During the course of conversations in each episode, there may be references to books, podcasts, television shows, and other forms of media that may be interesting to listeners who want to explore these topics further. I’ll be listing some of them here, along with listings of relevant books authored by my guests, podcasts they host, and other useful resources for learning about film comedies, comedy, and cinema.

Episode numbers are four digits long where the first two digits indicate the season and the last two digits represent the episode number within that season.
